Re: Network connectivity between FreeBSD and Linux
In response to Arindam [EMAIL PROTECTED]: [snip] From the FreeBSD box, can you ping the loopback address: 127.0.0.1, if so, can you ping your ip address: 10.0.0.101. If so, can you ping your gateway? Did you set a gateway in /etc/rc.conf? loopback: Yes I can ping it. 10.0.0.101: Yes again I can ping it. But I set this as the gateway. I just got two home PCs connected to each other over a 5-port switch with. 10.0.0.100 and 10.0.0.101 (this one). I set this as the gateway because a while later when I hook this to the web, this will be the box. And I might add a couple of more boxes to this network at best. Don't do that. It may be the cause of your problem -- in any case, it's incorrect. Leave the system without a gateway if you don't have one. I did not set a gateway in /etc/rc.conf. I configured the whole thing using sysinstall and a couple of times after that using ifconfig (ip addr and netmask). If you did it via sysinstall, then it was written to rc.conf. defaultrouter=your gateway ip address # Set to default gateway (or NO). But I guess whatever the method, such an entry would have been written to rc.conf. Yes. The output of ifconfig shows the duplex setting, you're set to 100 full right now. Can you set the switch port to 100 full, if it's not already. We have issues with our cisco switches being set to auto, they have to be forced to 100 full or we get 0 connectivity between broadcom cards and cisco 4500's. Trying a different card is a good idea if you have one. Helps rule some things out at least. It did work out that way and I am too tired to find out why. So, it works now. Just that AMD PcNet 97c79x did not work.

May be I should try swapping the ethernet cards of the FC2 and FreeBSD boxes. I am sure the FC2 box has a different network card.
